[QUOTE="billbennettoz, post: 124788, member: 22148"] it all depends on how important photographs are to you. The iPhone 5 weighs 135 gms without charger. However it has a fixed lens, which is not very wide, and you have limited control over image capture. However, there are some terrific apps out there that can enhance your photography. If you want to take some telephoto shots, then you'll be using the "digital" zoom, and so you'll be losing resolution. The iPhone has a small sensor, and it's only 8MP, and it doesn't handle low light situations as well as a compact camera with a larger sensor. I leave in less than 4 weeks now on my first Camino, and I've given this a lot of thought. I've been considering taking my Nikon D3200 with a 12-24mm f4 lens (equiv 18-36mm). It has a 24MP sensor and can handle up to 3200 ISO, which means I can shoot in very low light. However with charger and a couple of batteries it comes in at 1.25kgs. So I'm taking a little Fujifilm x10 - it has a 28-112mm f2-2.8 lens, tack sharp, and it weighs (with charger and batteries) 635 gms. Ultimately you have to ask yourself - are you doing this pilgrimage to take photographs? Or is the camera simply there to help you record special moments... [/QUOTE]
